Decoding Daniel, Revelation, and America’s Destiny
Decoding Daniel, Revelation, and America’s Destiny
Book Two of the My Story, His Glory series should be published in a few weeks. The book’s full title is: My Story, His Glory: Decoding Daniel, Revelation, and America’s Destiny. The writing of Book Two has been an eye-opening process for me and I am sure that will hold true for my readers!
How did human beings really get here? Did we evolve? Were we planted on Earth by aliens? Were we created in six literal days as the Bible says? How did the world get to be the way that it is, with wars, hatred, and unfairness? How long can the world last, moving in the direction it is heading? Does God really exist, does He care, and what is His plan? Is the devil real?
If you have had those or similar questions, you must read Book Two. I do not just answer those questions with compelling historical facts, I buttress those facts with indisputable biblical prophecy. I prove that to understand world history, one must first understand Bible eschatology – the books of Daniel and Revelation. God directed His prophets to reveal the meaning behind and to answer the questions we posed earlier. God’s simple truths have intentionally been distorted and made complicated. I share a quote from the upcoming book.
We established that prophecy and history are two sides of the same coin. They cannot be separated. The historical side of this coin reveals world events as they relate to their prophetic parallel. As we prepare to spend the coin of prophecy and history, it is important that you understand several things. First, many aspects of our world, including many of the things we consider and accept as truth and facts, are not actually accurate. That holds true for Christians and non-Christians alike. God’s truth has been substituted with myths and traditions that are nothing but lies.
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
— Jeremiah 16:19 KJV
We all have inherited lies and vanities. Satan has woven solitary little lies into elaborate branching myths that compel then channel our individual and societal behaviors. He weaves those myths into complex collaborations of deceit. Each one is linked to the one before it stretching generations until the very memory of truth fades into obscurity. The lies cater to our egos, pride, and avarice. Like delectable delicacies they stick to our collective palates. American myths like exceptionalism, manifest destiny, and God’s grant of national favor mask our country’s founding sins, insatiable greed and desire for world dominance. Myths of racial superiority or inferiority, of wealth equating to righteousness, and God’s favor on a particular ethnic group lead us quickly on the broad way to perdition.
The Bible repeatedly warns us that in the time of the end such deceptions will not only be pervasive, but they will be lustfully embraced by those being deceived. The Bible says.
He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 NLT
So that you won’t be deceived, we expose the lie that the Antichrist is some great future evil, rather than the pernicious overseer that has manipulated the world for centuries and the clear danger that threatens each one of us presently. Satan’s delegate on Earth is working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness, now! He employs a dark militia cloaked in garments of light spreading their deceptions into every corner of society. Revealed are the same blinding spirits that kept God’s chosen people from recognizing Christ at His first coming and hold sway now so near the time of His second coming.
You do not have to be deceived. You do not have to embrace the lies. You do not need to be condemned. My Story, His Glory: Decoding Daniel, Revelation, and America’s Destiny points the way to truth and salvation. It shares valuable insights from a laymen’s experience and perspective. That perspective connects ancient prophecy to modern practices. It connects the dots of governmental, societal, and political wrongdoing to the father of lies – Satan. It bridges your life today, to each generation before you.
You will learn what our enemy has done – his means, methods, and motivations, and what he intends to do. And, with that understanding you will be empowered to choose wisely. You will learn how to escape Satan’s maze of deceit. We will unravel Satan’s first four lies that he has built his earthly empire upon.
